Minou's birthday today. Almost forgot in my mad attempt to finish my wearable art and schedule a last minute photo shoot for Sat....
Got the photog, got the model. Just need makeup.
I did remember the birthday in time for us to run down and get some cake at three dog bakery. The girls both just had a BIG piece...
Happy 7th Birthday Minou!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure a billion and a half people saw this on Ellen today. But I thought it was worth sharing. I laughed out loud.. hee hee

Just got back from Vegas last night. Had such a fun time. I'm absolutely useless today though. Can't seem to motivate myself to even eat. Life was easier with two starbucks in the lobby, and getting dressed meant putting on a bathing suit and moving from bed to poolside beach chair.....
Ah well....
We walked MOST of the strip... Not all but most...
Learned how to play craps and roulette but didn't actually play at all.
I ate everything I wanted to eat, except missed del taco, coffee bean and tea leaf, god mexican food, in and out, baja fresh, etc etc etc
went shopping, got new converse and some betsey johnson jewelry
ate some more
walked some more
sat by the pool some more
slept very little
went to see Ka our last evening there. It was so amazing. Everyone needs to see it. Everyone. I totally blew me away. Very different then all the other cirque shows out there and it can never tour due to the crazy stage.... We were in second row, we could see everything, they flew over our heads, snow landed on my nose and even melted, during the storm scene I thought the boat would capsize right on top of us, amazing. we even got to flirt a little bit during the curtain call. Woohooo....
It was an awesome trip. Thank you T and C. I think we should make this a yearly thing. Only maybe not next year - I have a wedding to get ready for.

Leaving tomorrow afternoon!!!!!!!!!
Sadly I won't have any good stories to tell since as we all know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But I'm sure I'll be 20 lbs heavier with all the food I'm excited to eat...

I needed some new wii workout buddies. The dictator couldn't figure out who they were supposed to be. It's so obvious....
Hints...
A) I'm going to VEGAS
B) uhm hello he's my other boyfriend
C) ritard

yah. no one will get it... But I like it. I was jogging with 'my boyfriend' today and he kept trying to pass me so I had to run my little wii ass off.....

lazy lazy lazy.......
The dictator left to work in Victoria for a few days so it is just me and the girls. AND we have many exciting plans. Like....
uhmmm... sleeping and not being kicked..... staying up late...... barking at whatever we want (mostly Birdie's plan not so much me)....
yah no big plans. Still working on my wearable art. I was at Petra's yesterday and made little embroidered pork chops - they are soooo cute!!!!! Lot sto do but nothing tricky to figure out anymore. Just have to get it done...
Off to Vegas on Sunday with the ladies. Very excited.... it is supposed to be 28 degrees there on Sunday - YEEHAWWWW!!!! Hot weather poolside and some suncreen here I come!!!!

A friend is running in the weekend to end breast cancer. I thought I would post a link to her team in case any of you out there want to make a donation!!!

Her words below:
I am walking in the Weekend to End Women's Cancer in August and I fundraise for the event and participate. A few of you I have already asked and talked to, and others I just didn't get the chance, but if any of you would like to support me in my journey please go to the link below to make a donation on line. It's very easy, no amount is too small and it goes to an amazing cause. You can view my personal story as well and view pictures of last year's event. But my story is simple, I walk because I can and this year I am walking in honour of my Grandmother who was a breast cancer survivor. It's an amazing time and any one who wants to join me, you can too!

OK. Diet is officially back on. During my forced starvation at BC place I quickly lost 15 pounds without even trying. However now I've been eating everything I can. Time to stop.
I found an app last night for my iphone. It's basically weight watchers online program only - calories instead of points and it is only $2.99 instead of $25.00 a month! HA! Let's just see if it works shall we.... It's called livestrong - some powerbar thing. Whatever. Doesn't mean I have to eat powerbars.....
making progress on wearable art. Think I might start the hat today.... starting to look into shipping....
BLAH.....

also got a vegas app - 11 days until we are there....

I'm tired. Can't seem to snap out of it. Is this what working 14+ hour days for 2 months does to you? Knocks you out for a good month afterwards...
Sigh. It is really hard to be productive when I am like this. Thank goodness I'm not working. AND a vacation is fast approaching with two gal pals!!!! Vegas baby.
I've been many times before but it will be good to go again and relax by a pool... Hopefully the weather stays warm.... gets warm whatever it needs to do.
Not much else to report. Waiting to hear back from the wedding planner.... sometimes my emails go into her junk folder so I'm hoping that isn't what happened this time....
what else? Nothing.
really nothing. Could I be more boring???
still working on the wearable art. I've done alot but nothing that shows up in photos. All the inside bits I've been ignoring are getting done, covering seams, hooks and eyes, velcro, elastic...... I have a big old porkchop but it is too heavy. I'm going out to by packing peanuts today to see if that helps instead of fibre fill. Tried making a tulle skirt thing yesterday but it looks like ka ka. I will be revisiting that....

That is my inspiration image for my outfit... Still trying to work out the title.... I don't like 'The Rookie Lion Tamer' so if anyone else has anywords to replace rookie that would bring to mind someone with little experience, dressed inappropriately, who was about to get eaten (and it can't be too long I'm at the limit for characters in the title) that would be great...
Love these boots:

that TaMara showed me.. I'm going to try and reproduce something similar for my stuff. I have a pair of pink knee high boots that I bought 10 years ago and have maybe worn once. I love them but I really have nothing to wear them too or with, an gosh you can't put orthotics in stilettos.... time to let them go....
ok.
Time to go sew...
